India, Germany to strengthen ties in edn
The government approved a proposal to bolster ties between India and Germany in higher education sector especially in the field of research, skill development and faculty development.
New Delhi: The government approved a proposal to bolster ties between India and Germany in higher education sector especially in the field of research, skill development and faculty development.
The Union Cabinet chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi gave its approval to the enhanced ties with the signing of Joint Declaration of Intent (JDI) between the two countries with some minor amendments in the earlier MoU.
The JDI will facilitate implementation of 'Indo-German Partnerships in Higher Education'. "By signing the JDI, the term 'Strategic' will be deleted from the title of the programme to make it 'Indo-German Partnership in Higher Education' and the funding period for the programme will be changed from 2015-19 to 2016-20," said a government statement.
On strengthening the education partnership in light of the controversy over replacing German with Sanskrit as the third language in Kendriya Vidyalaya schools, Union Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad said, "We do not want to make the relationship between India and Germany Sanskrit-centric".
